We would like to inform IMGs that recent legislation in Tennessee regarding licensure applies only to institutions with ACGME-accredited residency programs based in Tennessee. Since our residency programs are located in Virginia, we are unable to assist with the pathways established by this specific Tennessee legislation. IMGs interested in these new state-specific opportunities are encouraged to focus their search on Tennessee-based academic institutions.
